name: ai-ready description: 'Make any repo AI-ready — analyzes your codebase and generates AGENTS.md, copilot-instructions.md, CI workflows, issue templates, and more. Mines your PR review patterns and creates files customized to your stack. USE THIS SKILL when the user asks to "make this repo ai-ready", "set up AI config", or "prepare this repo for AI contributions".'

AI Ready

This skill helps the user install the latest ai-ready SKILL.md by John Papa into their personal skills directory.

Why?: The full ai-ready skill is ~600 lines of detailed instructions that evolve frequently. This wrapper keeps it discoverable here while the source of truth stays in johnpapa/ai-ready — always up to date.

Steps

1. Tell the user to download the latest SKILL.md to their personal skills directory by running one of these commands in their terminal. This will overwrite any existing local copy.

   bash / zsh

   mkdir -p ~/.copilot/skills/ai-ready
   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johnpapa/ai-ready/main/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md \
     -o ~/.copilot/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md
   

   PowerShell

   New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$HOME/.copilot/skills/ai-ready" | Out-Null
   Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johnpapa/ai-ready/main/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md" -OutFile "$HOME/.copilot/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md"
   

   For reproducible behavior, the user can replace main in the URL with a specific tag or commit SHA.

2. Suggest the user review the downloaded skill before loading it to confirm it contains expected instructions:

   head -20 ~/.copilot/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md
   

3. After the user confirms they've installed it, tell them to reload skills with /skills reload and then say make this repo ai-ready.

4. Do not run the install command on the user's behalf. The user must run it themselves.
